September Fail to reboot

 My plan to reboot my fitness journey this month was a definitely failure to launch.  I kept up with my running until this week.  I hurt my back, most likely working on my car.  Went to the dr the other day and got some muscle relaxers and prescription ibuprofen with instructions to take it easy for 2 weeks. I can keep up with walking, but I've got to not lift anything of consequence for 2 weeks or run any.  So I may try to do more yoga and see if I can get limbered up some. I'm still on track to make my goal for mileage this year.  I'm still over 100 miles to the good.  Hopefully I can keep that up.  So far walking hasn't really hurt my back.  It is feeling much better but muscle strains take time and the willingness to take it easy even when it starts to feel some better.   It's easy to sit and ice when it hurts, less so when it gets to feeling better. The weather has turned cool, it was in the 40s this morning.  We've got hectic weeks the next month or so wit
